Our warmest congratulations go out to KandieKane Laval, the winner of MODA Modeling School’s Miss Diva Style competition. KandieKane wowed our judges in several categories, including her pose selections, overall look, and presence on the runway.

“I’m just happy to be here,” enthused KandieKane as she accepted her tiara from Noelle Canning, the event organizer. “I’m so proud to be representing such a wonderful designer as Honeydew Hilite.”

KandieKane beat out 9 other contestants after being narrowed down first to 5 runners-up and then 3 finalists.

KandieKain Laval is a native New Yorker with the urge to shop.Her favorite place, before she discovered Diva Style, was Solange.Her most embarrassing moment came during an SL crash when her hair ended up between her knees and she shrunk to midget size.Actually Kandy, you’re not alone.That happens to everyone in SL.

KandieKain is seen here wearing her second outfit of the evening. No Diva can be without her little black dress and here we have KandieKane modeling a slinky little number. The Black Wave Dress is seductive with its deep v neckline and see-through wave cut trim. The wide diamante belt helps to show of those sexy diva curves. This outfit also includes a stunning diamond brooch.

Our other two finalists were Payton Heron and Arienne Anatine.Arienne was our first runner-up, and is seen here wearing the figure hugging Navy Blue Suit Dress. The hemline of the skirt features a white waved trim that exposes just a little leg, who says you can’t mix business with pleasure! This stylish dress comes with two shirt options – a short sleeved version or the long sleeved which has matchingwave trims. The outfit is completed with a thin white belt.
